Hey guys, I'm not mechanically inclined but my 95 Path stalls while driving at times & at idle (recently hasn't stalled at idle) but can this be related to a vacuum line/hose problem? If it is can someone advice me on which vacuum line I should be concerned about that is related to this problem? & possibly tell me where it is located at?

 

Thanks for the help

Given the age of these rigs, it's probably better to just replace the lines. Vac line is cheap by the foot at auto parts stores. Do them one at a time so you don't cross anything and don't forget the fuel pressure regulator behind the motor on the passenger's side, easy to miss and a little harder to get to.

 

Stalling could be a lot of things. Any idea when it last had a tuneup? If it persists, see if you can come up with a pattern... only happens when it's warm, or stopped but with the trans in drive, that kind of thing. That'll make diagnosis much easier.

One thing that can be helpful (and cheap and easy) before you start chasing things, is check the ECU for stored trouble codes. Sometimes it can point you to a faulty component. There is a good write up in the Garage/How To section.

 

And significant loss of vacuum anywhere is a problem so it is hard to just say "replace line X", not to mention the stalling could be due to other things. It probably can't hurt to change the lines regardless; 20 year old rubber lines aren't always in good shape.

I see we have been here before. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/41312-pathfinder-jiffy-lube-not-good/?p=770740

Did you check the ECU as suggested then?
